Listen to this siteThe CGCSC was established to ensure stakeholder involvement in the Agency's work on campylobacter and salmonella in chickens.
The group does not provide formal advice to the Agency, or have a decision-making role, but it does have an important role in contributing to technical discussions and providing support to the Agency as it works towards reducing these organisms in chickens.
All the major stakeholders in the chicken production chain are represented on the group including consumers, industry, vets and government officials. The group had been actively involved in the Agency's work to date and discussions with stakeholders have been extremely important as the Agency has developed its strategies for controlling campylobacter and salmonella.

One of the Food Standards Agency's core values is that the Agency should be open and accessible.
The first meeting of the Group was held at the Radisson Edwardian Kenilworth Hotel, Great Russell St, London on 19th July 2001.
The aims of this meeting, held at the Royal Air Force Club, 128 Picadilly, London on 2 December 2002, were to discuss the Food Standards Agency strategy for the reduction of Campylobacter in broiler production and to provide an update on all aspects of the Agency’s work on poultry.
The following Excel spreadsheets present information from the Agency's UK-wide survey of Salmonella and Campylobacter contamination of retail chicken, which was carried out between April and June 2001. Separate spreadsheets are presented for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
